Dad Shoes, Bad Moves

[Verse 1]
I retired my cool last Tuesday
Boxed up my sleek
Black air-whatevers
Clicked “add to cart” on a new life chapter
Hello
Cloud-soft leather
Doorbell rings
Kids at the peephole
“Dad
What’s that?” like a jump scare scene
Lace up proud in that white and blue glow
I walk out feeling seventeen
[Chorus]
I got my dad shoes
Bad moves
White and blue
New Balance groove
Traded style for comfort and my arches approve (oh yeah)
Kids point
Kids laugh
“Can we please not walk so fast?”
But I got ten more miles in these ridiculous shoes
In my dad shoes
Bad moves
[Verse 2]
I’m striding through aisles at the big-box
Pushing that cart like a runway king
Got coupons tucked in my side socks
And loyalty points for everything
My kids trail ten full steps behind me
Filming my stride for their friends at school
But when their feet hurt
Guess who they find?
“Hey dad… those look kinda cool”
[Chorus]
I got my dad shoes
Bad moves
White and blue
New Balance groove
Traded style for comfort and my arches approve (hey!)
Kids point
Kids laugh
“Can we Uber there instead of that?”
But I got ten more miles in these ridiculous shoes
In my dad shoes
Bad moves
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to claps
Bass
Playful sax riff]
Front row at the soccer game
Got cushion
Got grip
Got zero shame
They roast
I boast
“Try ‘em on one day”
You’ll join the dad-shoe parade (parade!)
[Chorus]
I got my dad shoes
Bad moves
White and blue
New Balance groove
Traded style for comfort and my knees say “thank you” (ooh)
Kids point
Kids laugh
But I just lean into the dad-hood path
‘Cause I got lifetime swagger in these practical hues
In my dad shoes
My white and blue
New Balances
Bad moves

pop, Bouncy upbeat pop with bright sax leads trading licks with a choppy rhythm guitar; male vocals. Tight live drums and bouncy bass keep it danceable, with playful horn stabs answering punchlines. Verses stay light and conversational, choruses explode with stacked gang vocals and sax hooks. Bridge strips to claps, bass, and a cheeky sax riff before a big, feel-good final chorus.
